What’s Up Amdavad?

Tapestry of Entanglement

Exploring the shifting boundaries between self, memory, ecology and collective existence, ‘The Living Threshold’ exhibition brings together an internationally acclaimed roster of artists. Through diverse material practices ranging from woodcut prints and embroidered silks to bronze, ceramics, stone pigments and photography, the exhibition reflects on identity, migration, environmental fragility and the evolving relationship between humans and the natural world. The show moves across themes of vulnerability, coexistence and transformation, where domestic spaces become uncanny, landscapes carry emotional memory, and the human form appears as a site of negotiation and change. Rather than offering fixed answers, the exhibition creates a contemplative space that invites viewers to reflect on interdependence and the fragile entanglements that shape contemporary life.

When: May 10-31, 11am to 7pm (Mon-Sat)

Where: 079|STORIES |STORIES, Rajpath Rangoli Road, Off SG Highway

Fighting Violence, Social Barriers

A French biographical sports drama, ‘Marinette’, traces the extraordinary journey of Marinette Pichon, one of the most influential figures in women’s football. Rising from a difficult childhood marked by domestic violence and social barriers, Marinette fights her way through exclusion, institutional resistance and homophobia to become a record-breaking striker and outspoken advocate for equality in sport. The film follows her path from local football clubs in France to professional success in the United States, where she becomes the first French woman footballer to sign with an American league. Beyond sport, Marinette reflects on visibility, resilience and the long struggle for recognition of women and LGBTQ+ athletes in professional football.
